> 24 hourI wanted to make 3 shirts with this and even bought two extra colors to make sure I would have enough color. The bottles were so tiny that if I wanted a full color shirt I would have had to use all of it on one shirt. The color is very bright but there was a lot of white still showing through. The mix was really hard to actually get mixed and it kept clogging up the end of the bottle.

> 24 hourLoved it!I prewashed 6 white tshirts.Next day, my 8 year old grandson & I layed out our shirts on kitchen floor and decided to added rubber bands in bullseye and striped patterns as shown on excellent included Tulip color photo instruction page.Then we moved outside around noon. On old table, we layed plastic down and added paper towels over it to absorb excess and prevent muddy mixing of colors. After I added water, shook bottles, and put gloves on my 8 year old and the 4 year old,. I let them take turns squirting different colors by the rubber band sections of 1 T-shirt at a time. Then flipped shirt and repeated. We left a little white area by bands and didnt over saturate with color. I forgot to dampen shirts, so some of dyes ran off shirts.We could have gotten more shirts than 6 if I had predampened. Changed out paper towels between shirts. When they went inside to wash up (only their socks got spotted with dye where they stepped in it, but they stayed mostly dye- free.), I placed rubber banded and dyed shirts out on another sheet of plastic($1 store tablecloths) and placed another sheet of plastic over top b/c instructions say to keep damp.) It was hot summer day, so they only remained a bit wet from dyes after sitting out for 4 hours. Then, 4pm I put each shirt in a large plastic Ziploc bag and put them in my tub in a container overnight, as instructions say to let colors soak into fibers for better results. 6am, I cut off rubber bands, one shirt at at a time, and filled a little plastic garbage can with water from the tub. I agitated shirt in pail until most of dye came out. I removed shirt and twisted out and put into fresh Ziploc. I poured water down toilet and quickly flushed to prevent dying the porcelain. I repeated until all shirts were done. (At some point I seemed to dye my beige linoleum blue in one section and started to panic. A little Joy dishwashing liquid on wet paper towel took it off though.) I brought each baggie to sink, rinsed each shirt until water ran clear, twisted excess water out and threw into washer. Single shirt, hot water, small load, short cycle. Then hung on line outside to dry. They came out great! Kids love them, but weve yet to wash them again. We will wash separately as recommended though for first few washes. Easy project , backbreaking rinsing if you are older and doing all the shirts yourself, but would totally do again!

> 24 hourGreat product! Easy to use and the colors set nicely! It also had a great pamphlet with dying techniques that was very helpful! The colors set a little more brightly than I thought they would but maybe I needed to let them set longer or add less water. Overall, I am very happy with this product and would buy it again!

> 24 hourIts an outside in a bucket activity, but it all comes in a set with directions. I ordered cotton table cloth and napkin (100 percent cotton works best) and the kids had a blast...maybe for camping to scouts, they can do Ts or giftys for Mom?

> 24 hourI thought these bottles would be bigger. They are the smaller ones. Still a good value. I love Tulip dye.

> 24 hourWe had so much fun doing this and to my surprise we can do it again because it comes with another packet of colors! We were able to dye 12 shirts! 5 were kids size small, 5 were kids large and 2 large adult tops. It was super messy so make sure you do it somewhere that can be cleaned easily. Will buy this again!

> 24 hourThis was messy, but fun and the colorful dye really adhered to our cotton tee-shirts. I was happy that an extra pouch of dye powder was included for each color because we went through all of it. We Tie-dyed 10 regular sized tee-shirts and 2 pairs of underwear (hee-hee!). Everything you need is included - several pairs of plastic gloves and lots of rubber bands. The included instructions were very good and I really needed them since this was the first time Ive ever tie-dyed. I saved the plastic bottles because I thought I could just buy more powder and re-use the bottles but apparently just the powder alone is not for sale. Now we have some really cool tees (and drawers lol!)

> 24 hourI really like this set but my package has a dirty bottle that turned my fingers green. No other bottles were dirty.
